Remote Amazon Delivery Partner Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Robots & Pencils is seeking a seasoned AWS AI Solutions Architect to lead the design and delivery of complex, enterprise-grade generative and agentic AI systems built on Amazon Web Services. You will architect scalable, secure, and production-ready AI platforms leveraging Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, AWS Strands Agents, AWS AgentCore Gateway, Nova Forge, Nova 2 Sonic, and related AWS AI/ML services. 
As an AWS AI Solutions Architect, you will serve as a strategic technical advisor-translating ambiguity into structured AWS-native architectures, validating designs through hands-on prototyping, and ensuring every solution aligns with the AWS Well-Architected Framework (including ML Lens) while delivering measurable business value. 

Key Responsibilities 

Client Engagement & AWS Solutions Architecture 

• Serve as the primary AWS AI architecture partner for strategic clients, driving generative and agentic AI system design from discovery through production. 
• Lead architecture design using Amazon Bedrock (including foundation models and custom models), Bedrock AgentCore, AWS Strands Agents, and AWS AgentCore Gateway. 
• Design advanced RAG, Agentic RAG, and multi-agent orchestration architectures leveraging AWS-native services such as Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Aurora (pgvector), and OpenSearch. 
• Produce AWS reference architectures, architecture decision records (ADRs), and implementation roadmaps aligned to business objectives. 
• Validate feasibility through hands-on prototyping in Python using Bedrock SDKs, SageMaker, and serverless services. 
• Ensure architectures follow AWS security best practices (IAM, KMS, VPC, PrivateLink) and cost optimization principles. 

Outcome Ownership & Business Impact 

• Own architectural integrity from concept through production deployment on AWS. 
• Align solutions with AWS Well-Architected Framework pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability. 
• Guide clients through tradeoff decisions across model selection (Bedrock FMs vs custom SageMaker models), latency, cost, governance, and compliance. 
  Accelerate time-to-value through reusable AWS accelerators, Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation/Terraform/CDK), and CI/CD automation. 
• Continuously evaluate emerging AWS AI capabilities (Nova Forge, Nova 2 Sonic, Bedrock updates, and new AgentCore capabilities). 

Engineering Leadership & Delivery Excellence 

• Provide architectural oversight to Forward Deployed Engineers and AWS delivery teams. 
• Establish best practices for MLOps on AWS including model lifecycle management, monitoring, and observability using SageMaker, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and AWS Config. 
• Define governance, responsible AI guardrails, Bedrock Guardrails configuration, and security controls for enterprise environments. 
• Mentor engineers on AWS AI service integration, distributed systems design, and secure multi-account strategies. 
• Make principled tradeoffs under constraints related to privacy, compliance (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR), cost, and operational complexity. 

Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Partner with internal product, engineering, research, and customer success teams to evolve AWS-based AI offerings. 
• Contribute AWS reference architectures and reusable infrastructure modules to internal accelerators. 
• Support pre-sales engagements including architecture workshops, AWS migration strategy, and solution scoping. 
• Collaborate across distributed teams and client stakeholders across North America. 

Required Skills & Qualifications 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 7-10+ years of experience in software engineering or cloud architecture with deep AWS ownership. 
• Deep expertise in Amazon Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore, AWS Strands Agents, AgentCore Gateway, and related AWS AI services. 
• Strong familiarity with SageMaker (training, deployment, pipelines), deep learning fundamentals, and model fine-tuning strategies. 
• Experience architecting RAG, multi-agent, and orchestration systems using AWS-native services. 
• Strong knowledge of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and serverless patterns. 
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform). 
• Hands-on development capability in Python and AWS SDKs. 
• Experience implementing observability and monitoring strategies in AWS environments. 
• Proven success leading enterprise-scale AWS transformations.
• Exceptional communication skills for both technical and executive audiences. 
• AWS Professional Certifications highly preferred (AWS Solutions Architect - Professional, AWS DevOps Engineer - Professional). 

Nice to Have 

• AWS Specialty certifications (Machine Learning - Specialty, Security - Specialty).
• Experience with advanced agentic reasoning patterns (ReAct,CoT, Tree-of-Thoughts) implemented on Bedrock. 
• Experience building secure multi-account AWS organizations using Control Tower. 
• Exposure to data engineering services such as Glue, Redshift, Lake Formation. 
• Consulting or professional services background. 

Personal Competencies 

• Accountability - Owns AWS architectural direction and client outcomes with rigor.
• Adaptability - Rapidly adopts new AWS AI releases and evolving generative AI capabilities.
• Collaboration - Builds trust across engineering and executive stakeholders. 
• Execution-Focused - Balances innovation with production-ready AWS delivery. 
• Innovation-Minded - Experiments responsibly with emerging AWS AI services. 
• Craftsmanship - Designs secure, scalable, and well-documented AWS systems. 
• Leadership with Courage - Drives architectural alignment in complex environments. 
• Comfort in Ambiguity - Translates unclear AI requirements into AWS-native solution architectures.
